Hey there, Rebelscum fans! This week on the site we’re heading into the trenches of Jabiim, the muddy Outer Rim world where Obi-Wan Kenobi had some of his greatest adventures in both the Legends and Canon timelines. Stay tuned throughout the week for more insights on the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series, as well as videos, articles, lists, and merchandising updates on this exciting chapter in the Star Wars universe.
Jabiim is where Obi-Wan goes through some of his most challenging adventures yet. Obi-Wan and Anakin encounter Asajj Ventress during the Last Stand on Jabiim comic book arc. In Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Inquisitors track Obi-Wan to Jabiim. While Obi-Wan Kenobi features some of the best lightsaber duels in the history of the franchise, there are even more exciting standoffs in the Canon and Legends media. Check out our picks for the top ten lightsaber duels from the Expanded Universe.

1. Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader - Splinter of the Mind’s Eye
